DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration,where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among thedifferent figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. Inaddition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide athorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, itwill be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that theembodiments described herein can be practiced without these specificdetails. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components havenot been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevantfeature being described. Also, the description is not to be consideredas limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawingsare not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may beexaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the presentdisclosure.

Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now bepresented.

The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to theparticular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies,such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantiallycylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can haveone or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” whenutilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; itspecifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in theso-described combination, group, series and the like.

The present disclosure is described in relation to a carrying case.

FIG. 1-FIG. 3 illustrate one embodiment of a carrying case 20. Thecarrying case 20 is configured to receive a tablet electronic device,such as a tablet computer 10. The tablet computer 10 includes a display12.

The carrying case 20 includes a top cover 22 and a bottom cover 24. Thetop cover 22 is slidably connected to the bottom cover 24. The top cover22 and the bottom cover 24 cooperatively define a receiving space 26.The top cover 22 includes a body 220 and a handle 222. The handle 222extends from the body 220. The body 220 includes a mounting plane 2202,four side plates 2204, and a bottom plate 2206. The bottom plate 2206 issubstantially parallel to the mounting plane 2202. Each side plate 2204is substantially perpendicular to the mounting plane 2202. The four sideplates 2204 and the bottom plate 2206 cooperatively define a receivingportion 2208. The receiving portion 2208 is formed by a recess of themounting plane 2202. In an embodiment, the handle 222 can besubstantially U-shaped. The four side plates 2204 can be made of elasticmaterial. The carrying case 20 is substantially cuboid. A volume of thetablet computer 10 is substantially equal to a volume of the receivingportion 2208. The receiving space 26 can receive clothes or files. Thecarrying case 20 can be a suitcase or a briefcase.

When the carrying case 20 is in use, the tablet computer 10 is receivedin the receiving portion 2208. The four side plates 2204 engage with thetablet computer 10 to prevent the tablet computer 10 from movingrelative to the receiving portion 2208. The display 12 and the mountingplane 2202 are substantially aligned on a plane. The carrying case 20 islocated on a supporting plane. The tablet computer 10 is substantiallyparallel or perpendicular to the supporting plane. The carrying case 20covers the tablet computer 10 to prevent damage.

The tablet computer 10 can be removed from the receiving portion 2208and be received in the receiving space 26. When the top cover 22 and thebottom cover 24 are closed, the tablet computer 10 is located in thecarrying case 20.

FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the carrying case 20. Thetablet computer 10 further includes a shell 14. The shell 14 can be madeof metallic material. The body 220 further includes two magnetic members2209. The two magnetic members 2209 are built into the receiving portion2208. The shell 14 is engaged with the two magnetic members 2209 toprevent the tablet computer 10 from moving relative to the receivingportion 2208.

The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Manydetails are often found in the art such as the other features of acarrying case. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nordescribed. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of thepresent technology have been set forth in the foregoing description,together with details of the structure and function of the presentdisclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be madein the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement ofthe parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to andincluding the full extent established by the broad general meaning ofthe terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that theembodiments described above may be modified within the scope of theclaims.
